Wilcox Rocks

What makes Wilcox arguably the Sonics best finisher since Shawn Kemp was patrolling the paint is not merely the frequency of his slams, but also their ferocity. Wilcox is able to dunk through traffic as well as anyone in the league because he attacks the basket so relentlessly.

"That's my aggressive side," Wilcox said. "I just want to go out there and take everything to the basket strong. Some of the dunks I do miss are because I'm going too hard to the basket. Me, I just want to finish everything; that's the best way to finish is to go hard."

Maybe someone should pass that quote along to The Rash. Or staple it to his forehead.

Is it me, or is the best part of a dunk photograph the expressions of the players in the background? Kobe's bemused look is eerily similar to the one he used throughout the Denver rape trial, as if to say, "You think this is phasing me? Please."

Lil' Wayne already has dibs on the nickname "Weezy," though I guess a guy who already goes by "Lil' Wayne" doesn't need another psudeonem. I like Chris Wilcox "In Your Mouth" myself, as a nickname that is. I don't actually like Wilcox's cock in my mouth, at least I assume I wouldn't, as it's never happened before.
